Hi @mmurray358,Welcome to The HP Support Community. Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.I understand your HP OfficeJet 4650 Printer is not printing from Chromebook, here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and set up the printer: 1. Make sure your printer supports Google Cloud Print: HP OfficeJet 4650 supports printing via Google Cloud Print. However, as Google Cloud Print was deprecated, newer printing protocols like Wi-Fi Direct or HP Print for Chrome should be used.2. Enable Wi-Fi Direct Printing: On your printer: Press the Wi-Fi Direct button (or access it via the printer's control panel). If Wi-Fi Direct is off, turn it on. Make sure the printer is broadcasting its Wi-Fi Direct name. On your Chromebook: Click on the clock in the lower-right corner and go to Settings. Select Wi-Fi and look for your printer’s Wi-Fi Direct name in the list of available networks. Connect to it using the default password provided by your printer. 3. Use HP Print for Chrome Extension: If you haven’t installed it already, go to the HP Print for Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. After installing: Open HP Print for Chrome. Click the extension icon from the Chrome toolbar. Add your HP OfficeJet 4650 printer by following the on-screen prompts. Try printing a test page. 4. Update Chromebook OS and Printer Firmware: Ensure that your Chromebook is up to date with the latest version. Check if there are any firmware updates available for your HP OfficeJet 4650 by visiting the HP Support Website.5. Print via USB Cable (If Needed): If Wi-Fi or wireless printing doesn’t work, connect your printer to the Chromebook using a USB cable.

2025-04-24Here is the configuration that worked for me:Acer Chromebook 14 running Chrome OS Version 69.0.3497.95 with the HP Print for Chrome extension.HP LaserJet Pro MFP M130fw updated to firmware Version 20180510 with Release Date June 7, 2016 and configured with Wi-Fi Direct OFF, Network Wi-Fi ON, and HP ePrint OFF.Google Nexus 5X using T-Mobile service with a hotspot providing wi-fi Internet access to the Acer Chromebook and the HP M130fw.Printing is initiated on the Chromebook via the HP Print for Chrome extension. Before updating the HP M130fw firmware, the Chromebook did not find the HP M130fw. Other than that, the main issue I encountered is that the Chromebook sometimes does not immediately find the HP M130fw, so it is sometimes necessary to restart the Chromebook app, or even the Chromebook itself to make printing work.Scanning is initiated on the HP M130fw using the Apps menu on the touchscreen control panel. Specifically, this uses the Google Drive app to scan and then upload a scan file to the Google Drive account being used on the Acer Chromebook.Connecting the HP M130fw to the Acer Chromebook with a USB cable did not work because the Chromebook did not detect the HP M130fw.I found no documentation that the HP Print for Chrome extension worked with the HP M130fw, but it worked the same as with the HP M127fw, which is documented as working.The HP Smart app required wi-fi, so the HP Smart app did not work on the Google Nexus 5X because there was
2025-04-17@Rachel2018Welcome to HP Forums,Let's get straight to it!Have you ensured other devices work fine on the same network?If not, please check to confirm.That said, here's what you need to do, if the other devices work fine on the same network, however, the Chromebook doesn't:Step 1: Make sure Wi-Fi is onThis might be the first thing you checked when you encountered this problem but I suggest you toggle the Wi-Fi switch off and then on again. If your Chromebook has already connected to a network before and you’re within range, it might automatically connect to it after you toggle the switch. Turn on your Chromebook. Click your account photo. Click No network. Note: If you see “Connected to” and your Wi-Fi network name, your Chromebook is already connected to Wi-Fi. To turn on Wi-Fi, click the switch. Your Chromebook will automatically look for available networks and show them to you in a list.Step 2: Make sure it’s a network issueAfter making sure Wi-Fi is enabled in your Chromebook, it’s time to look at this problem at a different angle especially if this problem started without apparent reason. For instance, if you were able to connect to the same network a couple of days ago and now you can’t, you have to ask yourself if the problem is with your laptop or the network.The best thing to do now is to see if other devices such as a smartphone and other laptops can connect to the same network without a problem.
